I can no longer claim I have recorded the best Nelo Angelo fight in DMC1. 15 years later, a crazy Japanese player appeared and recorded an even better fight than mine. Check it out here:
Puripuri_Obasan plays perfectly here and toys with Nelo like nobody else has done before. I know she knows this fight and Nelo’s attack and defense patterns like the back of her hand. Back when I recorded my fight, I was always 2-3 steps ahead of Nelo’s AI and had memorized all of his possible reactions to my every move. When you are this prepared, you are never really in danger, and so you can try making riskier moves.
But Puripuri_Obasan takes risky moves to a whole new level and puts Dante in Nelo’s face every single second of this fight. The execution is impeccable and the fight is extremely stylish. Her use of Vortex to bring Dante close to Nelo followed by an Enemy Step and Shotgun Hiking plus sword deflections is a beauty to watch. Dante absolutely dominates Nelo here and this video is indeed a masterpiece. I am pretty sure my own video inspired her to record this fight, and I’m glad I was able to inspire her. The crown goes to her now. (Technically, there can be two crowns, since she’s apparently a girl, which means I am still King and now I have a Queen by my side.)
